i’m jealous of april deacon
Yes, I know… I have a thing for vintage portraits in which the faces have been altered in some way {please find evidence here and here and here}. I love the patterns, the colors, and the fact that these ordinary citizens look like they’ve been initiated into some kind of bizarre art tribe! American artist April Deacon uses gouache {in stunning colors!} to turn these found photographs into my latest obsession. LOVE.
ps. that neon boy is missing a pinkie, right?

gorgeous. I especially like the first two.
Ah, love! I just bought one of her pieces as a gift for my sister-in-law. Her work (those colors!) is even more stunning in person.
WOW. These are wonderful! This type of mixed media can go either way for me….these, I absolutely love. Nice find, Danielle!
They remind me of traditional Maori tattoos.
Interesting work! Such bright colors and interesting patterns : )

Wow. These just drew me in. I love the bright patterns.
